The following excerpt is from Santamaria-Ames v. I.N.S., 9 F.3d 1553 (9th Cir. 1993):
Section 212(c) permits relief from deportation to be granted to an alien "in the discretion of the Attorney General." 8 U.S.C. 1182(c). Accordingly, we review a BIA decision denying 212(c) relief for abuse of discretion. Vargas v. INS, 831 F.2d 906, 908 (9th Cir.1987).
